    What happened to us (Americans)? We used to look down on Soviet propaganda and book burning; congratulating ourselves on our free speech. Now we’re burning books and outlawing news sources that don’t abide by the official propaganda. It’s sickening.

      The US has always had propaganda and book burning, it’s just really good at projection. Hell, even D&D was attacked for being “satanic.”

      Lol, classic American. Sees Americans doing bad things in America in a way that America has always done: “what are we, a bunch of Russians!”
